    We have this machine in our department for a long time and it's used by several researcher. For me this machine is moderately good. I use this often and it's good to run the normal PCR reactions but don't have positive results for the standardization procedure. Overall it is a nice PCR machine for ... read more

  • Fast, Reliable, and Quick Spinner for 0.2 mL Micro-Tubes

    Friday, January 29, 2021
    This is a movable micro-centrifuge for 0.2 mL tubes. I use this so much even in a days for spinning the small tubes which is not possible with the bigger available centrifuges of the lab. This is a mandatory cute and small spinner for me always before the each PCR run. I need to use this machine ... read more

  • Good Assay Machine and Luminescence

    Thursday, January 28, 2021
    This is a very good instrument for cell assays and luminescence. I have recently started using it and found it ideal for the various cell assays. I found great results and the data has ended up with nice visualizations. Easy to learn and handle though seems difficult to operate. I had little ... read more

  • A great and very handy robotic unit for liquid handling and extraction

    Wednesday, January 27, 2021
    This has in built several options to perform extraction, and PCR run with liquid handling. It reduces the time for experiment and human effort. However, you have to take care of the unit with supplies and cleaning to keep it updated and maintained. read more
